 |
|
I've compile the kernel (2.6) with read-write support. When I want to write something to a ntfs partition I get permission denied (even if i'm root), before I got the message this is a read-only file system so I think I'm getting closer but what do I have to do next?
line in fstab

I've tried other flags too but currently I'm trying it with the above. Please advice. |

The ntfs support in the kernel is far from complete... In fact all you can do is overwrite existing files, but no change the filesize. This basically means that you can change the permissions of the file, that's it.
I recall seeing a thread a few weeks ago about ntfs write support enabled via wine emulation. This apparently worked above expectations, so you might wanna give that a shot. Just do a searh for ntfs write support.

I remember reading this on slashdot a while ago. It is called captive. It doesn't look too difficult to implement, but I don't have an ntfs drive to experiment on. Let us know if you use it with success. |
